View 7 RepliesI have implemented the filestream feature of SQL Server 2008 in a VB.Net application. I can insert files, and then retrieve/view them just fine. However, I have huge problems trying to update a file. Eg. The user selects a file from the grid which I execute via process.start. If that file is a .txt file, the user may choose to edit it. In case that happens, I need to save the changed file back to the database. So far I have failed to do that.
What I do, is take the retrieved file, copy it (cause i got some errors about it being used), and then Process.Start it. After that, via .NET filestream, I convert the file to bytes and try to update the record. SQL Profiler and a manual SELECT on the varbinary(max) column tell me that the file is updated properly, but the very next try to retrieve it I get an unchanged file.
After that I also tried to update the file by changing its File-System Version, but the file still wouldn't seem to update. Does Anyone have a code sample of how I can achieve this operation? Like 500 sites on the internet have examples of how to Insert And Retrieve the file, but not a single example on how to update. This is how my second attempt of trying to update the file via the filesystem looks like. The code for inserting/retrieving is very similar and it works properly. [Code]

View 6 RepliesI create a project using query sql ( Select, Update,Delete,Insert ) in many various way. example by Select with condition ..etc someone work in programing field. tell me that you are not profession in using vb.net , because you have to use OOP instead all of these Sql query. because if you want to make any update on your program after start to work on the Pc you will open your project on design and change the code. but in OOP you will make update on class and then put it as DLL file in the file of program.
View 5 RepliesI'm making a game in Gamemaker and i'm using VS2010 to create a launcher for it. The launcher works like the Minecraft launcher:
it has to check a file from my server, then compare it to the local file, and if they aren't the same, the launcher has to re-download the game.exe from the server.
This all has to happen when i click play. To make the game start i use
Process.Start(My.Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory & "\game.exe") i've put the game in the solution explorer.
put 'copy to output directory' to 'copy always'. i appareantly had to do that according to a tutorial to launch game.exe. Now, as i've said, i'm quitte new to VS 2010.
I am working on a program using VB.Net 2010 which will enable me to setup groups of files & folders for back up with syncing capabilities etc. I have a concept program which is based on some sample code I found out in one of the VB.Net forums. I have modified it from a command line based program to a form based program. At the moment I consider this code to be a "concept" program which once I have the various copy/sync routines developed and debugged will be integrated in to another program I wrote for
creating "Back Up" groups to automate the process. There are some 3rd party programs that do similar things that I want to do such as Microsofts Sync Toy, but none of them offer the grouping and exclusions options that I am going to program in to this backup/sync program.
So here is my problem, I have the included code taking two folders, a source and a destination, and copying everything from the source to the destination. It will skip over any unchanged files/folders and will delete anything found in the destination folder that is not found in the source folder and it will update all files in the destination folder that have a newer version in the source folder. In other words it will mirror image the source to the destination but will be smart enough not to copy unchanged items from the source to the destination thereby saving a lot of time. The sync part of the program is working fine, the displaying of the progress and results is not.

The following code writes some data on an xml file. If I want to write on the same file twice the code overwrites the old data with new ones. How do I update the data instead of overwriting them? (i.e., write at the end of the xml file instead of overwriting the data)

my application reads from an .xls file I put on google sites. The problem comes when the application modifies a cell and tryes to save the file on the site, actually it does nothing since to read something from the site is easy, while trying to save something requires a connection with username and password.
So, how can I pass the username and the password to the application? and even most important,can I encrypt it so that the person who uses my application could not see the real trafic details with a http sniffer?Right now I am using this code:
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim xlWorkBook As Excel.Workbook

My company puts out a monthly newsletter which I host on our internal website. I have a page for the author of the newsletter to upload the latest version. Once the author has uploaded the latest newsletter, he sends a broadcast email to announce the new newsletter. Employees invariably check the new newsletter and send feedback to the author with corrections that need to be made.
Once the author has made the necessary corrections (typically within an hour of sending the broadcast email), he revisits my page and replaces the latest version with the updated newsletter.
Immediately following the replacement (or update, if you will) of the newsletter, anyone attempting to access it gets a 500 - Internal Server Error.
My IT guy who maintains the server cannot delete/rename/move the file because of a permissions error and has to do a lot of convoluted things to get the file deleted (and once the file is deleted, the author of the newsletter can re-upload the corrected copy and it works fine.
My IT guy and I are pretty sure that the problem stems from that I'm trying to replace the file while IIS is actively serving it to users (which I thought of and thought that I had coded against happening).[code]...
